At the same time, the specified principle “Drag Along” does not provide for the right of a participant with a share of less than 50% to refuse to sell his share and not to join the offer of sale accepted by other participants.<\/p>\n According to the norms of English corporate law, this principle is implemented in practice through notification of the Company \/ its executive body on the intention of participants to use the principle of “Drag Along”, and the latter on the basis of the notification, in turn takes all actions to register new owner.<\/p>\n The application of this principle “Drag Along” minimizes the number of possible corporate disputes related to the alienation of corporate rights and blocking the full transfer of corporate rights of the Company, initiated by members of the Company who own small shares in the authorized capital.<\/p>\n Borrowing this principle from Ukrainian corporate law would provide additional legal security for corporate rights holders in potential corporate conflicts.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author:\u00a0Kateryna Maevska, Lawyer of Dynasty Law & Investment English corporate law contains an interesting principle of corporate rights management, which should be borrowed from the Ukrainian branch of corporate law.
